policymakers will decide to taper. that number doubled from 17% to 34% after today's strong jobs report. still in the lead, not by much. they are putting the december taper at 50%. >> the. for more of the november jobs numbers we will take a look at our chief economist. welcome back. good to see you again. is this evidence of a sustainable economic recovery in the u.s.? >> how can it not be sustainable? we are almost four years into this. when it comes out these headlines am a and they are saying, well, maybe we will taper in a few months. we want to be sure.

the credibility is in question. >> that is why i posed the question. it said officials are not sure, what does that say? >> i don't know what they could be thinking. increated 2.3 million jobs 2012. this year 2.1 million jobs have been created. >> it sound like you're saying, what more evidence do you want? >> it could maybe grow 2.5 million jobs. they are with think the horse pretty good. we are creating jobs anyway. >> the unemployment rate has fallen since they first began buying bonds. this today's report give the fed the evidence it needs to start scaling back monthly purchases and at the meeting that comes up on the 17 and 18 of this month? >> that is what i was waiting for. going into november, we were hopeful.

now it came out it is true that we have three out of four months. that should be sufficient. the only thing that worries me is that not enough economists swung in the right direction. a lot of times there is a consensus building thing. i'm going to continue pushing for december tapering. >> a swansong? >> i would think this last press conference, saying things are working. there is still a role for monetary policy to play. we are going to eat back the throttle. 80 billion ag to month. that is almost nothing, right? >> they would suggest that the political uncertainty in washington did not have the effect that a lot of people but it would. is that an accurate discussion? description.and -

>> it would suggest that. it has come back. oh. consumers are saying the same thing. plus we got consumer spending today. that was a below the mourner october. chief speaking with the economist and talking about the november jobs numbers. one of the standouts in that november report, manufacturing jobs were up i 27,000. that was the most since march of 2012. what are we looking at with the job picture going forward? is this the spark, the momentum that the economy needs to keep going? >> it could be. don't forget the manufacturing survey was very strong. manufacturing is right now ash the surveys are coming back better than they were before. construction and manufacturing are adding about 45,000 jobs of the 200,000 count.

that means it is a broad based increase in jobs. >> when you talk about manufacturing and construction, that broad-based incentive, that is going to translate, i would imagine, into the housing market as well, i would imagine. >> one of the keys to getting the unemployment rate down -- that is why the fed keeps pushing. they want the unemployment rate comeback. we lost construction jobs during the session. jobsyear we have created back. this is evidence that construction is going to add more and more. the jobs count will stay higher. >> chief financial economist joining. good to have you. looking for job? turn to thetime to tech industry. we will have that story when bottom line continues in just one moment. ♪

>> welcome back. let's show you how the equity markets finished the session for december 6, 2013. halting a five-day slide for the s&p 500. investors weighed the better than expected jobs growth number. now look at the numbers. the broader index was up 20 points to 1805. the dow jones industrial average 16,020.91 points to 4062.sdaq was up to su keenan is in the newsroom with the details. >> a big turnaround from the five-day stock slide. no question that better than forecast the job numbers was a big driver. >> it is strong in terms of the headlines because of job creation on the unemployment rate. it is strong in terms of how we got there. implement rote -- growth was

broad-based. it is really good news. it is also strong in terms of earnings. when you look across the board, this is ending usually strong report. it would be welcomed by the fed. it would be welcomed by anybody. this is good for mainstream. >> among the big movers, intel gained. right aid was up after november sales. it is up more than expected. plunged almost nine percent, down almost 20% on the week, after it disclosed that the ftc -- fdic is asking about liquidity and financial holdings. sears is going to spin off. the ceo who is tried to turn sears around is thinking a spinoff will benefit investors.

it breaks my heart to know that there are thousands of job openings and millions of unemployed americans. quickf the answer is programs that focus on getting american talent into these jobs. >> what is key in the evolution of education? our camps and programs like it the wave of the future? >> it is part of the future. the biggest key as that this country has a fascination with higher education, which is great. at the same time, we seem to be hypnotized with the idea or the myth that college and higher education are the same thing. i think we should scale back that idea. college is part of higher education. but there are other things we can do to get people educated and into the workplace that doesn't depend on a four year degree. i think part of this is a mental shift, shifting away from college being the solution to

that being part of the solution of a much wider range of educational opportunities that people have. we are not trained to recognize those. >> do you think this country is doing a disservice to potential employees and potential members of the workforce i not making that distinction between college and higher education? >> absolutely. i don't think it is poorly intentioned. i think it has been decades that we got of college of higher education. but if you look at germany, where the unemployment rate is in the single digits, it is .ecause they have apprentices they have trade schools. that is not looked at as less than a degree. that is honorable. that is something people try for. what your tell us boot camp is and how it can help alleviate the problem? >> i'm glad you asked. the boot camp is a program i started a couple of years ago.

i realize that my favorite job was working as a computer engineer at microsoft. but i only used about 10% of what i learned my degree on the job. so i thought, what if i can take that 10% and stuff it into nine weeks and put people through an intensive program? could i get him to be useful enough to keep learning on the job? i tried this experiment with 20 people last year. of them were looking for job. 16 of them had a job offer. to be clear, they were notessional -- were professional software engineers. they were just good enough that they were being a to learn on the job. they started at $85,000. >> which companies work with you to mentor students? >> we have a big camp in chicago and san francisco. we are launching in new york. we have over 200 hiring partners. we have guys who used to work in

big companies like google and twitter. i work in medium-size companies, consultancies, and startups. >> what are the barters for women and technology, and how do you solve these gender parity issues? >> i'm glad you asked that question. it is such an important question. tech community is important. acknowledge he is eating everything on history, from education, to politics, to everything. technology is redefining our world. are hugely underrepresented in this area. that is a big problem for everyone. one of the biggest problems i think is that we are not asking ourselves this very question. there are a lot of inherent biases. many of them are well- intentioned. some of them are not well- intentioned. we need to take a very look at -- very close look at what makes our industry less attractive for

women and minorities. >> thank you so much for your time tonight. we appreciate your perspective. >> thank you. >> up next, highlights of our special. we want to show you how e-mail -- ebay has evolved into a tech giant. our core -- our cover story, inside ebay, when we continue in just one moment. ♪

ebay? >> hugely important. it is growing so much faster than the rest of the business. it had been growing at rates that were high. allebay campus we are at is paypal people, in fact. they have 13,000 people exclusively working on paypal. i asked him what they are going to do with the growth rates. i asked of the growth rates were going to continue to slow. i was surprised with what he said. check this out. >> we think we have a lot of growth ahead. mobile is growing fast. we're going to start seeing the benefits of all of our efforts in 2015 or 2016. we feel good that we can re- accelerated revenues. a reacceleration of growth for business that is doing a couple billion is an impressive feat that has rarely been done before.

he says that paypal is going to do. >> is there an amazon ebay rivalry brewing? than growing. they are fundamentally, diametrically opposed. and they are running a lot of technology against each other. they are searching each other for lower prices. they are trying to match each other. i think that the fact that amazon got so much attention for something that they don't actually do, which is delivering , when ebay is trying to get the same attention, i think it really bothers of people at ebay. ebay nowhave an service that lets them deliver and half an hour. emily chang tried it this morning. it was cold, about 30 degrees this morning. she ordered some plus. in half anught them hour near the airport. that is an interesting business that is a ready part of the market. that is not part of the future.
